3 ways to block anonymous calls

Want to know how to block hidden numbers on your iPhone or Android? You can use Do Not Disturb on your iPhone or change the call settings on your Android if you have a Samsung phone. If you don't have a Samsung phone, you can download an app called "Should I Answer?" To block unknown incoming calls on Android. Unfortunately, there is no app or setting available on iPhone that only blocks private, unknown, or restricted calls.

Step 5. Tap All Contacts

Your entire contact list will be added as a Do Not Disturb exception. You will no longer receive calls from people not registered in the Contacts app.

Do Not Disturb also prevents notifications from other applications (eg text messages, emails, social networks, etc.) from appearing as an alert.

This option is in the middle of the menu and opens the call barring settings.

Step 6. Press the Block anonymous calls switch

It will turn blue

and your Samsung will now block all calls from unknown numbers.
